TO ALL WHOI I'I MAY CONGERN:

Be it known that I, HANS H. TIETJEtS, of Lyons, in the county of Clinton, and State of Iowa, have linvented anew and useful Implement for Accomplishiug the Cultivation of the Soil by Hand in u neuter and more accurate mannerI than can be obtained by the use oi' the ordinnry horse-ploughg -end I do hereby declare that the following is a. full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in providing a convenient implement for securing the satisfactory preparation of thesoil for hedges, gardens, nurseries, and such other purposes in which it is desirable to turn u furrow with great neatness and accuracy, and also necessary to nvoid the'trumpling of horses on the young trees, hedges, owers, &c.

To enable others to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Figure I of the annexed drawings is en isometricul drawing of the device.

Figure 2, a top view.-

Figure 3, a. side elevation.

A, figs. I and 3, represents the cross-ber; B, figs. 1, 2, und 3, represents the handle, C, figs. 1', 2, and 3, the ferrule for firmly securing the beam D; D,vg's. 1, 2, and 3, represents the`bean1 of the plough; E, igs. l1 and 2, aAbmce; E, figs. I, 2, und 3, the mould-board and ploughshure, here represented in one piece. I construct the mould-board and ploughsbare F of iron, or any suitable material, and in either one or more pieces. I attach to it the beam D, with its brace E, seid beam being placed at such an angle with the share F asshown in g. 3, or es muy be most convenient for use. I construct the cross-bur A and handle B of wood, or other suitable material, and insert in it the end of the beam Drmly 'securing it with the ferrule C. It will be readily seen that by pushing on the cross-bar A the shwie F will be drziwn into the ground, turning a furrow, as desired.

What I claim as my inventiom'and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A band-plough, when constructed and operziting substantially as described.
